What bassist are you?

You Scored as John Paul Jones
You are Led Zeppelins John Paul Jones! You are very calm and often content. You are very skilled with many instruments and don't mind to sit still while your buddys are running around and enjoying themselves, mind you that doesn't stop you from being a big part of the spectacle during certain songs.

PS. A lot of people have said my style resembles Sir Paul. I think I'm most like a combo of Sir Paul, Sting, and some Mike Rutherford thrown in..... At least that's what I think when I'm play licks that I stole from them and think to myself as I'm play "Hey, I stole that lick from Sir Paul / Sting / Mike Rutherford / fill in the blank"!!!! But I'll take JPJ too!!!!
 
You Scored as John Entwistle

You are John "the Ox" Entwhistle of The Who. Though you generally aren't the funnest person to be around you get the job done and do it well. You love doing bass solos and will write about whatever the rest of your band hasn't.

What the hell? My result said,and I quote: "You love drugs blah,blah,etc..." I do admit,when it came to the drug question,I picked "in the middle" (between "hell yes!" and "hell no!). After all,I wouldn't object to marijuana,and ONLY marijuana being decriminalized/legalized for medical use :hiding:. I'm not a user anymore (12+ yrs). Oh well,that's a requirement far a well-paying job for ya'! But,I was once a full-on,raging pot-head/grower,back in the day.
One cool thing though! I ain't complaining about bein' "Geezer",for sure. A true legend. And maybe STILL a pot-head :D....

Kinda fitting, the whole 'Making a simple bassline seem challenging'. I don't really write stuff too technical, but I have alot of melodic lines that people seem to dig.
